I'm in Utah! Are you still here? I could show u around? In northern UT 😊

[@stevesalyer6261]

Ethan... you are freaking AMAZING! Not many people are as adaptable as you. One month you're living in the paradise that is Curacao.... then, in the blink of an eye, you're swimming in a river with baby elephants and have an entire island to yourself in Thailand... and now, you're living in a U-Haul! But the coolest part is that through all this... you continue to be upbeat and optimistic! Every day is an adventure! I know that feeling. I hope you never lose your wanderlust and your love for life! Keep being amazing! Looking forward to your next adventure... in Utah!! I also hope you'll travel internationally again soon!!

[@RonInAVan]

As I said before, I camped in a U-Haul van not a box van. I think a van would have been safer and then you would have heat and AC. If I had to do it again I think I would rent a Penske van free unlimited miles. But Ethan you are a very resourceful fearless young man. Stay safe and safe travels.

[@patriclo9509]

I’m guessing cost considerations for the uhaul vs. a camper van. A $4500 expense makes you a bit budget conscious.

[@MikayeYakovlev]

I am completely impressed by your ability to live by yourself and do all these things.

[@prtyflywhitguy]

pretty sure he isn't by himself when cam is off :)

[@michaelsullivan3581]

Bless you Ethan! Thanks for brightening my day! I'm so glad you have found a new Dogdog friend! Yay! I too will always remember the fabulous Millie! Dogs are so unique. They live such short lives. But they produce such joy and teach us such great lessons. When each dog leaves, their awareness joins the totality of dog. They become a part of all dogs. Dogs learn through each others lives. The biggest part of the gift of Dog is to be in the moment with them. They remind us that life is so valuable and it moves on swiftly. And then another dog comes to continue the lessons of love that are dog! That is the gift. Dogs come and go, but Millie is still helping us all through the continuing awareness of dog! Dogs teach us to celebrate instead of clinging! A most amazing and beautiful gift! Can't wait to meet your new four legged friend! 🐕🍀💞

[@ewaldbarrink2676]

So good to see Eth back on track.. Ready for new adventures! Looking forward to meet the new 🐕.

[@robertpublicover]

You are very resourceful Ethan! It was great to see you effortlessly proving it with smiles and terrific humor. 🎉Having recently driven the same size U-Haul truck from Florida to Maine I really appreciated your camping in it. Mine was packed to the gills so I couldn’t pull that off. Looking forward to enjoying your Utah videos and meeting the new very lucky pup!!

[@thomasgriffith2953]

That shot of the sky at night (the Milky Way Galaxy) was SPECTACULAR! Makes one think how really small and basically insignificant that the earth really is in the grand scheme things. 😉

[@bryanthernandez9324]

You did right to tell a fib. I’m glad you were safe. Beautiful journey you’re having!!! Love your stories!!!

[@jeremiahallyn4603]

Wow, that view of the stars was absolutely amazing! I honestly have never seen it like that because I've never been so far out in the middle of nowhere that light pollution didn't affect the view. I'm glad you had a good time camping in the U-Haul, lol. Stay safe Ethan 🫶😁

[@mariom2809]

Everything that you go through,turn out to be a pleasant adventure for me because you’re awesome and funny,Ethan.Thank you for sharing.Love from Brazil.

[@knm5405]

"Lock" the outside hook open, don't just "latch" it please. Vice grip, screwdriver, something to wedge the door rollers down from the inside. Pull the lifting strap inside to lift the door. Sleep naked, (except that) clothes under with you to dress inside the warmth. Breathing inside your covers raises humidity and you will be colder. U-Hauls have good alternators and batteries. Proud of you... seen to always have a positive attitude.. So glad truck is back together. Yay.. Brice, Arches, Powell, Zion love Utah too. Lived in Monticello for 3 years . The eye candy is awesome too, and very kind people. Enjoy. Hugz~

[@richardwade6256]

Yep, of course you miss Millie. What a friend she was. All the best for your future with your new dog.

[@thecarolvanpod]

Very clever solution for camping! It must've been good to get out of that parking lot. Another stunning night sky in Colorado. Lovely. Some days, I still can't talk about Bailey, my chocolate lab, and she died from cancer six years ago! I was too heartbroken to make room for another pet, but in my travels I found my cat Sammy, when she was a wee kitten of only 5 weeks old, stranded in the middle road, curled up on the yellow lines, because she's blind! Moments after I pulled over to pick her up and returned to my car on the side of the road, an 18-wheeler blew by! She's been traveling with me everywhere since then. So, I can't wait to meet your new pup. As much as you miss Millie, it's good to have room in your heart for more puppy love. And you'll never forget Millie; such a good girl. Glad you're safe, your truck is repaired, and that you're enjoying Utah!

[@loboboy5113]

Ethan....I wish I could hug you from Florida....Im so sorry what happend to Millie! Giving another dog your love, and showing the dog all the beautiful places you go is worth it.....

[@bobseeger342]

Good morning Ethan I'm so to hear that you got your camper back and now you can enjoy your journey and I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your dog to cancer and your getting a new one 😊 have a good day Ethan be safe ❣️🤠

[@danielmkubacki]

Thank goodness the truck is fixed. I am happy that you got a new dog. Hugs to you Ethan.

[@gerbearjones6056]

I really enjoy your uploads. Something refreshing about you. Adorable, kind, and real

[@nanne3361]

Do you know that you are the most beautiful child in the world and so cute? I love your smile and the way you speak. It's amazing and wonderful. You have such lovely powers hidden away.

[@samcraig6718]

That sky at night was amazing!

[@ncmike225]

You are amazing! So talented.... and cute. Glad you got the camper back.

[@Michael-gf8pf]

Sorry about the transmission but your attitude thru everything involved has been so positive! Thank you for your wonderful spirit and sharing with all of us!

[@RobSwan1948]

Another wonderful video !! Thank you for sharing !!

[@billspooks]

I know you sometimes have to make do but I would be terrified of getting trapped in the back there and no one coming to my rescue for weeks, maybe months, before I am found. Gives me chills just thinking about it. Hope your truck is repaired soon. If you ever do this again spend ten dollars and buy a small hand axe so you can claw your way out.

[@kriskabin]

All anyone needs 2do is lock the latch in the open position. Also, put a clamp on the roller track to hold the door open a few inches.

[@danperry7019]

Another fabulous video and Colorado looks beautiful. I love your energy and you genuinely seems like such a nice and kind hearted guy. ⛺️

[@ThemanlymanStan]

@2:47 I believe that is a power substation. That's what switches high power lines to lower or vice versa.

[@moimeme1928]

I liked the views of the mountains

[@larrytalbott700]

Millie: "Thank you, my dear Ethan, for giving me such a wonderful life filled with love! You may see me out of the corner of your eye or see my paw prints on your blanket, but don't be alarmed: It's just me looking out for you and your new pupper! And know that someday you and your new pup will find me waiting patiently for you at the far end of the Rainbow Bridge!"

[@Jeremiah7-ox2nj]

Awwuh... I just wanna pat you on your little head, Larry.

[@OLDS98]

Ethan you have some interesting adventures. I am glad your truck is fixed and you are safe. I was concerned about you sleeping in the UHaul. You are safe and okay. The music fit the video as well.

[@paulcarpender6280]

Always so happy to see Millie's teddy bear.

[@fookwah]

Dear Ethan - it so inspiring to see your videos inspiring young people go explore and better their lives in the process. I guess most of your fans have a lot support and praises for you Nevertheless please be security conscious and vigilant of your surroundings in your adventures around the world Do keep your loved ones be aware your journey and pit stops Take care and happy exploring your world Ethan 😊

[@betofontespr]

Nice to see you happy

[@Joeyjoey53]

Glad the transmission is fixed and you made it to Utah safely. So sorry to hear about Millie I am sure you miss her very much. Looking forward to seeing your new fur baby. Safe travels and big hugs.

[@Rogerla62]

Glad your truck is up and running again. I always look forward to your videos. Please continue on your safe travels.

[@snow_job]

Another great video. Hopefully no one from U-Haul sees this video. The Steve Wallis channel did a camping in -40° weather in a U-Haul and he's since been put on their DNR (Do Not Rent) list. Apparently they don't like people camping in their vehicles.

[@albertringshauser5805]

I absolutely love your adventures. Please stay safe and well. Peace

[@stuboyer1901]

So sorry about Millie Ethan. That's a sad fact that our fur babies don't have the same life span as us but they sure give us plenty of love and companionship while they're here. Stay safe and cautious while traveling. A lot of us really care about you.

[@zachparade2791]

Glad you are back on the road and have brought another fur baby into your life! ✌️💛🍀

[@allenberryhill5528]

I love your videos. What an adventure. You are such a strong individual to Cary on. Thank you.

[@ephrambrown9142]

Ethan, I think you sometimes take too many risks when sleeping in the middle of nowhere. Take great care of yourself

[@SeshFlo_djpruz]

I reckon so too. Brave li'l campster.

[@MrDEWaters]

Camping by the side of a road in an out-of-the way place is common in western states (fishermen, hikers, etc.). Although it's possible there might be hoodlums around, it wouldn't be something to get worried about.

[@mikedoyle9004]

there's someone else with him.

[@wendellellison3482]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@jandejong6498]

You must not forget; his camera-man is also there.

[@ericnelson5171]

Glad you are back on the road. Love you.❤❤

[@bencuraza6503]

Glad the repair was completed and Thanks for Sharing your Travel. Be 🍀SAFE☘️🙏🐶🙏❤

[@kylerbaier7519]

It’s a bummer your truck broke down. But that’s life sometimes, I guess. Glad you’re back on the road doing what you love!

[@T-41]

It’s pretty impressive how you can make getting stuck in a parking lot with a major vehicle malfunction , and nights in the back of a UHaul into another delightful and interesting show!

[@jamesoldman3021]

Thanks for the update. And glad to hear you are back on the road. You should be good for a few thousand miles now.

[@alrush1234]

You are brave and amazing..

[@randalcook325]

Great Video Ethan, you are a very resourceful young man. Please be safe out there on your travels. I am sorry to hear about your dog Milley. I look forward to seeing your new puppy.

[@CoachA-CoachA]

your videos are awesome. As always I learn so much from your resourcefulness. getting ready to camp myself with some friends who are coming down from Utah

[@CoachA-CoachA]

heck I'd have helped to keep you in the uhaul 😘

[@MrMoodymaniac]

Good to see you back on the road!

[@user-tm1oy6ck4t]

Always full of surprises, E. Only grand adventures ahead for you!

[@scottfraser6604]

Glad your transmission has been repaired. I'm no mechanic, but to drop and replace a transmission in four hours has me thinking those mechanics knew what they were doing. That's a big job. It was exceeding nice of them to let you hang-out there awaiting the parts.

[@nigelbond4056]

Ethan, you’re a born adventurer, absolutely brilliant. Little tip, buy a hot water bottle if you haven’t already got one. A really useful way to spend $10. I’ve followed your channel since the start and seeing your vlogs grow in confidence and viewership is fantastic. Really proud of you 🥰

[@johnzamora4205]

Your confidence is so attractive 😂 I would've been petrified to even sleep in the uhaul let alone take it for a camping truck 😂. I love how you are so confident and it's motivating Ethan. You are literally the calm in the storm. ☺️❤️😌

[@tc7277]

Always fun watching your adventures

[@jla770]

Get a Terracotta pot and some tea candles with a couple a bricks . It will definitely heat up in there.

[@ventrust7507]

Thanks. Sorry about your pup.

[@patndave4919]

Ah, the life of a vagabond! I am glad your truck is on the mend. Great brainstorming there. I would have never thought of a box truck for day tripping and camping. Godspeed.

[@reeblesnarfle4519]

Glad you got your truck tranny fixed. Sorry for your loss and your gain. Lost my black lab who adopted me Sept year ago and I still feel it. When another one comes to me, I'll have one. All of mine my entire 76 years have come to me. Never gone after one. Can still name every one of them.❤🙏

[@michaelhuchins9514]

You improvised and made it through a tough situation, hopefully it's smooth motoring for a while! Can't wait to "meet" the lucky dog who found it's way to you!

[@clarkkirby2140]

Safe travels!

[@jaymckenzie8412]

You are amazing taking dogs with no hope sn hiving them a home with love

[@abruptpegasus]

While I'm a little bummed about the circumstances that kept you here, I'm happy you got to spend so much time in Colorado and see so many of my favorite parts of the state. I'm glad you're back to the travel part, but can't wait till you're back.

[@andywillis3723]

That lake was a real beauty. Looking forward to meeting your new dog travel companion.

[@xBINARYGODx]

In terms of worrying about the battery going - just leave the truck/car in park with the engine running idle - at least with most cars, you can get like 2-3 days of constant idle. I don't know if that trick will go that long, but it's fine for a few extra hours of keeping food from going bad.

[@waltmacklin1770]

Great Video! Beautiful Scenery and the night sky in those mountains! Just Amazing, and great quality video of the stars! My cell in my city lights does not get the stars much, so you must have a great camera! I was worried for you, with that door that just locked open! I was so relieved when you got your truck back, and that you were not locked in the back! Walt

[@ralphybell1]

Love ur upbeat journey through life and so glad that truck door didn't get stuck with u in it.....

[@eddiejohnson3366]

Utah has got to be one of my favorite places too. I can’t wait to see where you take us!

[@peterstolk5203]

Ethan, thank you very much again for your beautiful video. Love My condolences to Millie.♥♥♥

[@stevejacobs8375]

Hi Ethan, It's good to see you back up and running.

[@philbrooke-little7082]

Just for future reference you are better doing all your charging / running of things when you are driving because the vehicle alternator has more than enough capacity to do that without in any way compromising charging the battery. The same is true in any vehicle where there is a battery charged by the vehicle. In fact if you turn the temperature on your fridge right down to almost freezing while driving and then back to normal when you stop you save using battery power as it won’t need to start up for a while once you stop. I find I can go all night without the fridge kicking in if I have super cooled it off Solar during the day.

[@bjolley8686]

Glad you’re really on the road again. I’m with you on Utah being beautiful.

[@xxlobos3428]

It's been quite awhile since I've watched you - sorry, but I've been dealing with some major personal problems. Very nice to see you again! 😊

[@princesslyne1]

I like your trips Ethan,you look like a bright boy but please take care of yourself and stay safe ❤

[@AndersonMedia]

Glad you got your truck on the road again. Awesome video :)

[@dereknewbury163]

Thank you for bringing a breath of the big country to very urban London

[@jerrypin6740]

thank you for sharing.

[@ilovetotri23]

Great work around!

[@mjohnson9563]

my father and I and some friends from SLC did the Uhaul camping and fishing thingy long time ago at Lake Strawberry near Heber City on US 40. We pulled the boat with the truck rental and the four of us slept in the back of the truck for a few nights. Lake Strawberry is pretty high up there so overnight temps at this time of year are probably below freezing but your camper would be ideal to visit this lake.

[@FISTRIG]

YOU ARE SO GORGEOUS !

[@toddwhite8850]

Get a pair of vice grips. Put it in the track so they can’t roll the door up. Put a lock on the handle hole so they can’t lock you in there from the outside.

[@brianellis869]

The scary thing someone could come along and latch the door while you're inside that would suck. I've been locked in before because the latch that holds the handle was broken and one of the springs was broke on the door which when I walked on the truck allowed it to come crashing down and latch. Luckily someone was nearby to open the door. I deliver mail with a 26 foot box truck.

[@WarrenGregson]

Rly? Surprised there’s no fail safe release inside as required in cars

[@lancebillingsley199]

Good to hear you got the transmission fixed and back on the road

[@MichielvanderMeulen]

much positive energy 🎉

[@PSPguy2]

Nice stationary shot with grasshopper in foreground, you in background with action. Good cinematography. 👍

[@RoC-e4r]

That was a great camp experience!!! so jealous

[@VoiceAcrossTheField]

I live in Colorado. It would have been cool to see you guys when you went through. I've been to Durango. It's a beautiful area. Too bad you guys had so much vehicle trouble.

[@Agriking]

You have my interest. I hear a lot of good things about Utah.

[@izalinojcoelho]

Camping in a U-Haul was interesting lol. I’m enjoying your content and your sarcasm makes me laugh. Thank you for the gorgeous views. Come visit Canada, we have plenty of beautiful areas for view 😊.

[@jeffr9631]

Ethan, you are f-king -Amazing excellent person. I absolutely love listening to your voice.

[@mntryjoseph1961]

You are one brave kid! 😉

[@joseperez-ig5yu]

Hey Ethan, it's so neat seeing you drive that Uhual truck! You seem to really enjoy nature. I guess you just like ruffing it more than other people. It's all about having fun and enjoying yourself. Happy trails to you Ethan.😮😊

[@mikesawyer1336]

I love watching your content. And I'm a bit of a scaredy cat so I'd be freaked out to camp in a U-haul with people standing outside. But you do it and l love it!

[@JettaCity]

Be safe out there. Your Thai adventures were funny AF

[@DIFFERENTTHINGSY.T.]

Nice video 👍 still love watching them 👍

[@pdodwell1575]

How very resourceful! With the cost of the transmission repair eating up your budget I can understand why you would try to find a very inexpensive way to sleep and stay in the meantime. Too bad you don’t have either a propane heater that you could’ve used as long as you could’ve vented it outside or a solar powered generator that you can charge up maybe at the repair shop before you go camping and then run an electric heater for at least part of the night.

[@gruncletim]

Your adventures are amazing!

[@jasonrofe6403]

So good.......Great film work editioning. The footage is amazing and so interesting. You are really cute too.

[@kingpuppet5881]

I wish I could have a life like yours! No 9 to 5 job just being a free spirit and documenting it as I go. Or what life that would be. You're an inspiration.❤

[@DaninVirgina-mg7rf]

I'm glad you mentioned what state you are in because I thought it was Calif at first. You have very nice setup there.
